Kit List

Here is a suggested Kit list, which is a guide to what your children should take with them. They obviously need to be equipped for all weathers, although of course we hope it’s going to be mild and dry! Whatever the weather, the outdoor activities do go ahead as planned, so it is vitally important that your child has wet weather clothing. It is equally important that sun cream is taken.

The children will be doing very physical activities during the day and in the evening so they will not need good expensive clothing as it may get ruined. Please use clothes you have at home already, don’t go out buying.

PLEASE MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS CLEARLY NAMED

  • Each child should not bring more than one suitcase or holdall as well as their bedding bag and will need to be able to carry his/her own belongings over a short distance.
  • The children are not encouraged to take expensive cameras, personal stereos, watches etc. as these may get lost or damaged. If any child does take anything of this nature, they must be his/her responsibility. (NO MOBILE PHONES).
  • There is a shop where they can buy drinks, sweets and souvenirs – however, it is quite expensive. The may bring pocket money but no more than £6 please.
